Inserting your sim card
Before you start using your Xda Guide you’ll need to insert your sim card. This contains your mobile phone number.
Make sure the Xda Guide is turned off.
Remove the back cover by using your thumb or finger to lift it from the bottom.
Remove battery. Look for the sim card slot (top right of the space) and place the sim card in it with the gold contacts facing down and the cut-off corner matching the shape of the slot.
Slide the sim card completely into place.
Installing the battery
Line up the battery’s copper contacts with the connectors in the battery compartment and push it into place.
Make sure that the free end of the ribbon is showing above the battery (you will use this to pull the battery out again when you need to).
Replace the back cover.
7
Installing a microSD™ card
Using a microSD card gives you additional memory to store anything you want. We’ve included one with your Xda Guide which contains map data for the CoPilot® (Sat Nav) application, but you can use the available space on it to store other things, such as photos and music files.
Remove the back cover and you’ll see the microSD slot on the top right above the battery compartment.
Slide in the microSD card with the gold contacts facing down and make sure it clicks fully into place.
To remove, press the microSD card until it clicks and releases.

The battery in the Xda Guide should be partially charged, but you’ll need to charge it properly before you start using it.
